Through the pith and substance of these businesses and the manner in which it exercises them, Séché Environnement is strongly involved in the environmental challenge in general and in the preservation of biodiversity, in particular. Anticipation and commitment in the long-term are key to positively impacting the natural environment in a sustainable manner. The biodiversity being protected by the company surrounds us daily and is often not noticed as it is qualified as common or ordinary by some. But it is that which will define the richness of territories in the future.
In the middle of the 1990s, the Group adopted a monitoring approach tailored to environments by integrating ecology services at its Changé site. This approach was extended to all sites as external operations unfolded. The environmental policy is based on the respect of the present so that we do not undermine the future. Biodiversity and landscapes are integrated at the same level as operations, based on management methods of sites.
The connection that links the Group to neighboring biodiversity is all the more important as it is significantly tied to the land; it is possible for the Group to implement comprehensive actions to safeguard and monitor the animal and plant world. The fruits of these actions go beyond these sites owing to the existing exchanges between territories (ecological corridors).
The storage business benefits from studies on the impact on plant and animal life as well as on the integration in the landscape, completed by monitoring programs specific to bio-indicator species, which act as witnesses to air or water quality. Séché is moreover a partner of The Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle in the monitoring of common birds and bats.
This experience of around 15 years of concrete actions integrating the value of biodiversity to the heart of the company has enabled Séché Environnment to exchange good practices during seminars and with think-tanks at the national level to demonstrate what is possible in this area (Orée association, MNHN work group, Grenelle de l'Environnment Round Table, etc.).
